Dance, and dance, and dance

Would anyone be interested in going to a contra dance in Cambridge on Saturday evening? It's at the Emmanuel URC on Trumpington Street, 8-11pm; it's like a ceilidh (so there's a caller, you change partner after each dance, and the music is fiddle and bass), only faster, twirlier and more American.

I don't think we can get to dances in Cambridge (though Stick Shift Contra are playing Cecil Sharp House next month) but this is just a post to say that if Andrew Swaine is involved (and I can't see how he wouldn't be) he really is the finest caller of his generation and is becoming awesome.

Yes, Andrew's calling, and he is indeed excellent.

Curiously, I just this moment received an internal work email which had someone called Andrew Swaine on the recipient list. I wonder if it's the same one.

It is definitely the same one; I know he works for your employer.

He called my wedding ceilidh :-)

For some reason I mentally pronounced this as "He called my wedding silly", and was briefly tempted by "Well, it was" as a response ;-)
